    摘要: A device configured to detect a triggering event at a platform and to capture a depth image of items on the platform using a three-dimensional (3D) sensor. The device is further configured to determine an object pose for each item on the platform and to identify one or more cameras from among a plurality of cameras based on the object pose for each item on the platform. The device is further configured to capture one or more images of the items on the platform using the identified cameras and to identify items within the one or more images based on features of the items. The device is further configured to identify a user associated with the identified items on the platform, to identify an account that is associated with the user, and to associate the identified items with the account of the user.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a memory and processor. The memory stores a machine learning algorithm configured to decide between using an algorithmic and a virtual cart to process a transaction. The processor receives feedback for a decision made by the algorithm, indicating whether the algorithmic and virtual carts match. The processor assigns a reward to the feedback. A first positive reward is assigned when the algorithmic cart is selected, and the feedback indicates that the carts match. A second positive reward is assigned when the virtual cart is selected, and the feedback indicates that the carts do not match. A first negative reward is assigned when the algorithmic cart is selected, and the feedback indicates that the carts do not match. A second negative reward is assigned when the virtual cart is selected, and the feedback indicates that the carts match. The processor uses the reward to update the algorithm.

    摘要: An object tracking system includes a sensor and a tracking system. The sensor is configured to capture a first frame of a global plane for at least a portion of a space. The tracking system is configured to receive a first coordinate in the global plane where a first marker is located in the space and to receive a second coordinate in the global plane where a second marker is located in the space. The tracking system is further configured to identify the first marker and the second marker within the first frame, to determine a first pixel location in the first frame for the first marker, to determine a second pixel location in the first frame for the second marker, and to generate a homography based on the first coordinate, the second coordinate, the first pixel location, and the second pixel location.
